Ingredients (makes 2 pizzas)
For the pizza bases:
- 125g plain white flour
- 125g strong white bread flour
- ½ tsp quick yeast
- pinch salt
- 1 Tbsp olive oil
For the toppings:
- 2 Tbsp tomato puree
- 20g parmesan cheese
- 2 asparagus spears
- 4 black olives
- ¼ small red onion
- 1 slice gouda or edam cheese
- Handful small basil leaves.
Note: Make sure you have a grown up with you to help with cooking!
To make
- Place the flours, yeast and salt in a large bowl. Add 160ml warm water and the olive oil.
- Mix together with your hands until it all comes together as a dough.
- Tip out onto a lightly floured work surface and knead with your hands for 5-10 minutes until the dough is smooth and silky (note: the dough might be very sticky to start with, but keep kneading and it will get less sticky over time).
- Pop the dough into an oiled bowl, cover and leave somewhere warm to rise for around ½ hour or until it has doubled in size.
- Meanwhile, preheat oven to 220°C (Gas mark 8/425°F). Line two baking trays with baking paper.
- Split the dough into 2 pieces and roll each piece out out on a floured surface to make 2 round pizzas.
- Place the pizza bases on the lined baking trays. Mix the tomato puree with a little water, then spread evenly over each pizza base.
- Finely grate the parmesan cheese and sprinkle lightly over the pizzas.
- Create your seaside design using the vegetables and cheese slice.
- Bake for 10-12 minutes until cooked through.
- Serve and enjoy!
